Wow! 100K readers so far!
I'm amazed at the interest in this French translation of our article in The Conversation.

Pourquoi une diminution de la population humaine ne bénéficierait pas forcément à la biodiversité : l’exemple du Japon

Même avec moins d’êtres humains, la faune sauvage dispose de moins d’espace et de moins de niches écologiques où s’installer.

Russia's 1st humanoid robot was revealed today. A bit like a mobik, it fell over as if shot and our efforts at hiding the disaster convinced no one.

Nearly two years ago, I wrote about the extraordinary influence of former Tory spin doctor Sir Robbie Gibb on the BBC. It's still a helpful backgrounder for what's going on now. New readers start here: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

How the government captured the BBC

A right-wing cabal, largely unaccountable, is waging war on the principles that made our public broadcaster great. It must not succeed

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

Zelenskyy: "Europe fears the word ‘escalation.’ They believe any response is escalation - but Russia sees non-forceful, intellectual responses as weakness."

This is exactly right. We are at war a thug, or a school bully. Give them something and they will demand more!

Raptor recovery… Marsh Harrier, Goshawk, White-tailed Eagle and Osprey have all increased substantially over recent decades. Ospreys have colonised new counties at the rate of one a year, including Co. Fermanagh in 2023, the first breeding on the island of Ireland in 200 yrs #ukbirding #ornithology

Graph of numbers of breeding pairs on Osprey reported since 1973 in the UK and its four countries

Probably worth saying that gambling firms prop up The Sun through millions £ in advertising and referral deals.

For some reason they don't point that conflict of interest out on their front page story against gambling taxes today (save for a promo note that it "includes Sun Bingo and Sun Vegas")

International shipping keeps emitting greenhouse gases like there's no tomorrow, while it largely eliminated its cooling sulphur emissions.

Ignorant policies lead to dire outcomes
